Strawberry juice has gentle astringent and bleaching properties and is best used as a light cleanser for those who do not wear make-up. It can also serve as a tooth cleanser and whitener--it's very refreshing and helps eliminate onion and garlic breath.

Application tips:
Apply juice to face, neck, and decollete with a saturated cotton square (avoiding eye area), and massage with fingertips for about 1 minute. Rinse with cool water.
Recommended for: Oily, combination, acneic, or normal skin.
